Are you an organization seeking experienced, skilled employees?
The New Start Career Network is engaging with employers and employer associations in New Jersey to raise awareness of the thousands of New Jersey job seekers who are trying to escape the long-term unemployment trap. Most have long and often impressive work histories, and many are highly educated, but they lost a job in a tough economy and haven’t made it back. This is especially true for job seekers who are 45 and older, who make up roughly half of New Jersey’s long-term unemployed population. Though they are often overlooked in the applicant pool, according to recent research by AARP, older workers have many of the very qualities and skills that employers are seeking—reliability, loyalty, a strong work ethic, high productivity, strong problem solving abilities, and a depth of experience.
By partnering with the NSCN, you will open up your company to an overlooked source of talent, while also helping the communities and economy of our state.
